Jamie King Hopes To Survive Third Slasher Remake… ‘Silent Night’!
News has been snaking its way through Twitter that Jamie King (left; Mother’s Day) is set to star in her third slasher remake.
Bloody Disgusting discovered that King, who toplined both Lionsgate My Bloody Valentine 3D and Anchor Bay’s Mother’s Day redos, will also be featured in Anchor Bay’s forthcoming Silent Night, a new horror pic from The Genre Company and Inferno’s Ember Productions.
In the film, “A local police department’s search for the killer Santa Claus terrorizing their remote Midwestern town on Christmas Eve.”
Malcolm McDowell will play Sheriff Cooper, a small-town hero ready for some big-time action.
Under the Bed and Automaton Transfusion helmer Steven C. Miller will direct from a script by exec producer Jayson Rothwell. The pic is a loose remake of TriStar’s 1984 film Silent Night, Deadly Night which went on to spawn four sequels.
With principal photography scheduled for next month, Anchor Bay plans to unspool the project worldwide this holiday season.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
